The tedious task of digging trenches to
plant celery in, and afterward the great
labor of banking it up to blanch, prevent
thousands of private gardeners from grow
ing this delicious vegetable. This year
there is offered to the public new sort
known as Nellis' Self-Bleaching Celery,
which can be grown as easily as head of
cabbage or lettuce, and requires that only
a little earth should be drawn up around
the stalks, similar to killing corn, and re-
main couple of weeks, to have extra
choice blanched celery of the finest quality.
This easy culture saves two-thirds of the
time required to cultivate and blanch the
old green sorts. This new variety is dis
tinet, and is of a beautiful cream white
color, and crisp and tender. The intro
ducers offer TO send a packet, valued at %
cents, OF this rare sort to any one sending
the names and addresses of ten or more
persons who take pride in garden (parties
who grow vegetables for market prefer
red), and also two cent stamp to pay for
postage and packing. They will also send
free to any one who desires it their ninety
six page illustrated Catalogue for 1887,
which illustrates this new celery, and de-
scribes it at length. Their address is:
The A. c. Nellis Co., growers of the
famous brand OF Mohawk Valley Seeds,

orchard and Garden for 1857.


The progress of this unique illustrated
monthly Journal is simply phenomenal. 1t
is eminently original, being written and
published by fruit growers, exclusively IN
the interest of horticulture; and what gives
il special value is its freedom of speech and
independence. Not only is it impartial
and truthful in text, but equally so III its
ilnstrations-an innovation almost in hor-
ticultural literature. Furthermore, it is
ever seasonable, entertaining, progressive,
condensed, and altogether practical. In
addition to having secured the best horti-
culturists throughout the country as con-
tributors, the following eminent writers
have been engaged as associate editors: II.
r. Roe, author of success with Small
Fruits, y ''The Home Acre." ETC.; A. 5.

Grape Culturists, " Practical Forestry,
etc.; Peter Il. Mead, formerly editor-n-
chief of the ''Eorticulturist;;" f. Williams,
Secretary of the New Jersey State Horti-
cultural Society; ID. B. Wier, the we'll
known editor and horticultural writer OF
the west; Theo. F. Baker, whose skill and
success us a market gardener and contri-
buttons have given him celebrity; Abby
Speakman, the able and experienced writer
printed on twenty pages of the best paper,
abundantly illustrated, and how it can be
published at the trifling sum of fifty cents

A CLIFF OF A

Among the scientific papers which
will appear in the appendix of one of the
forthcoming reports of the Geological
Survey, says the Wood River News.
Miner, is one by Prof. Joseph P. Iddings
upon the obsidian cliff of Yellowstone
Park. This cliff is an elevation half a
mile long by $50 to 200 feet high, the
material of which Professor Iddings
says els as good a glass as any arti6cially
manufactured" Its colors and structure
not only make it highly interesting to
the visitor, but furnish to the scientific
investigator phenomena of Importance.
The cliff presents a partial section OF
surface flow of obsidian which poured
down an ancient slope from the plateau
lying east. It is impossible to determine
what the original thickness of this flow
may have been. The dense glass which
now forms its lower portion is from 70
to 100 feet thick, while the porus and
pumiceous upper portion has suffered
from ages of erosion and glacial action.
A remarkable feature of the cliff is the
development of prismic columns. which
form its southern extremity. These are
OF shining black obsidian, rising from
the talus slope, and from so to go feet
in hight. with diameters varying from
two to four feet. The color Of the mate.
rial Of this cliff is for the most part let
black, but much of ii Is notified and
streaked with bright brownish red and
various shades of brown from dark to
light yellowish. purplish and olive green.
The brilliant lustre Of the rock and the
strong contrasts Of color with the black
are very striking. In places the glass in
the process Of cooling has been broken
into small, angular pieces which have
again been cemsnted by the latter flow,
producing many. colored and beautiful
breccia. In some places the material
shows q fine satin ~lustre, while in others
a deep golden sheen is noticeable. which
under the lens resolves itself into thin
beams Of red and yellow light. Through
the black and red glass are scattered
dull bluish-gray patches and bands, and
round gray and pink masses, the effect of
which is still further to vary the appear.
